<p>The <code>wait</code> behavior is conceptually quite simple.  Just pass in a number of milliseconds
to wait into the behavior:</p>

<testScenario name='wait'>
    <step type='http'>
<pre><code>POST /imposters HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:<%= port %>
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "port": 4545,
  "protocol": "http",
  "stubs": [
    {
      "responses": [
        {
          "is": { "body": "This took at least half a second to send" },
          "behaviors": [
            { "wait": 500 }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}</code></pre>
    </step>

<p>Now we can call the imposter.  But have some patience, it'll take the better portion of a second
before you'll get your response...</p>

    <step type='http'>
<pre><code>GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:4545</code></pre>

        <assertResponse>
<pre><code>HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Connection: close
Date: <volatile>Thu, 01 Jan 2015 02:30:31 GMT</volatile>
Transfer-Encoding: chunked

This took at least half a second to send</code></pre>
        </assertResponse>
    </step>

    <step type='http'>
<code class='hidden'>DELETE /imposters/4545 HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:<%= port %></code>
    </step>

<p>If a more advanced wait strategy is needed, you can also specify a function body as the wait variable.
As long as the function returns a number, mountebank can be configured to wait a variable
amount of time.</p>

<p class='warning-icon'>The <code><a href='/docs/commandLine'>--allowInjection</a></code> command
line flag must be set to support using a function to determine the wait time.</p>

    <step type='http'>
<pre><code>POST /imposters HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:<%= port %>
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "port": 4545,
  "protocol": "http",
  "stubs": [
    {
      "responses": [
        {
          "is": { "body": "This took at least 100 to 1000 ms to send" },
          "behaviors": [
            { "wait": "function() { return Math.floor(Math.random() * 901) + 100; }" }
          ]
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}</code></pre>
    </step>

<p>The result of the function determines the wait time:</p>

    <step type='http'>
<pre><code>GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:4545</code></pre>

        <assertResponse>
<pre><code>HTTP/1.1 200 OK
